I mean I feel like that’s one of those questions that probably shouldn’t be reported in the media… Plus it would be very surprising if at some point between now and the end of that trial, not a single person discussed with her, whether she wanted another trial… I mean come on…
Given the shadiness around the whole trial, I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t asked.
At the end of the day the police/DPP said that they wouldn’t pursue a retrial because they had concerns that she couldn’t handle it. There has been nothing from her side to confirm that either way.
To make that decision you would have to consult with the client though. There would have had to be consultations as the Police are going to want to cover themselves legally.
She’s not a client. Decisions on whether or not to prosecute are entirely in the hands of the DPP. They may or may not consult the complainant/victim. You only have to read a few stories from women who have made complaints to see how fucked up the whole process can be from police through to prosecutors. I could easily believe that she wasn’t consulted. But there’s been no word from either party to indicate if there was or wasn’t consultation.

Local maggot Alex Hawke having to photoshop himself into his own family portrait is the funniest thing I’ve seen all week. Check out the slider:

Bloody hell it’s not even a good photoshop. And what is it with libs and only being able to have a sneering smile?

I can’t wait for all the memes to come out on this one.
We’re a joke of a country at times.
Expose war crimes by our armed forces? Prosecuted.
Expose espionage by our government against a friendly neighbour purely motivated by greed? Prosecuted and more.
Hilariously though:
- The ACT Supreme Court heard he was concerned about “excessive” investigations of troops’ alleged misconduct in Afghanistan
Yeah how’d that work out!

I could do better in MS Paint.
MS Paint has layers now apparently
Wasn’t sure where to put this as there isn’t a “least surprising news” thread

I am not in the least surprised.
He probably also knows where Chris Dawson hid the body.
It’s always the ones you eternally suspected.

Yup. I would have been surprised if he made it through life without someone speaking up about him being a pest of that nature.
Tony Martin and Ed Kavalee had an absolute field day with this when Chris Masters released JonesTown. Something about “Rallying around the flagpole.”

I guess the conservative movement don’t need him anymore, so they don’t feel the need to defend him like they did in decades past.

Whilst they’ve got him, they should try him for ruining the Balmain Tigers in the early 90s as well. Probably more egregious than any alleged kiddy fiddling.
Still remember when Chopper Read called him out about it on air. It’s one of the worst kept secrets in country
